"DOJ: Former aides broke law in hiring scandal
by LARA JAKES JORDAN
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Justice Department officials broke the law by letting Bush administration politics dictate the hiring of prosecutors, immigration judges and other career government lawyers, according to an internal investigation released Monday.
For nearly two years, top advisers to then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales discriminated against applicants for career jobs who weren't Republican or conservative loyalists, the Justice report found.
At times, their search for GOP activists to fill judgeships threatened to clog courts and potentially delay deporting illegal immigrants, the report said.
Monica Goodling, who served as Gonzales' counselor and White House liaison, routinely asked career job applicants about politics, the report concluded.
"What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?'' Goodling asked at least some candidates, according to the joint investigation by Justice's Office of Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility. Others were asked about their views on abortion and gay marriage.
Yeah, blame it all on Monica.
She would be another Washington Monica, wouldn' it, Bill Clinton?
The investigation was one of several examining accusations that White House political meddling drove prosecution, policy and employment decisions within the once fiercely independent Justice Department. Those charges were spurred initially by the firings of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006 and culminated with Gonzales' resignation under fire as attorney general last September.
Gonzales appeared unaware of the political hiring process outlined by Goodling and his then-chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, the report said. Gonzales has kept a low profile since leaving the department, and said in a statement Monday that "political considerations should play no part in the hiring of career officials at the Department of Justice. ... I agree with the report's recommendations.''
Yeah, I'll bet he does! It absolved him!
The 140-page report does not indicate whether Goodling or Sampson could face any charges. None of those involved in the discriminatory hiring still work at Justice, meaning they will avoid any departmental penalties.
Just like this whole damn criminal administration!!
"The cost to our nation of these apparent crimes was severe, as qualified individuals were rejected for key positions in the fight against terrorism and other critical department jobs for no reason other than political whim,'' House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., said. "I have directed my staff to closely review this matter and to consider whether a criminal referral for perjury is needed.''
You know what?
SHUT UP, Conyers, you fucking flaccid piece of dog crap!!!
Either DO SOMETHING and ENFORCE the LAW or SHADDUP!!!!
In fact, after the way you treated Cindy Sheehan, just shut that dog-shit belching pie-hole you call a kisser, 'eh?!!!!!
